The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has issued a strong warning to schools and members of the public over the circulation of fake and misleading Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment (KJSEA) results analyses.
In a statement shared on its official platforms, KNEC cautioned schools against publishing fabricated results summaries that depict aggregate scores, mean points or school rankings, noting that such analyses are inaccurate and contrary to the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) framework.
“Unlike the former system, KJSEA does not provide an aggregate score,” KNEC stated, emphasizing that CBC is designed to nurture individual learner potential rather than rank students or schools competitively.
According to the examinations body, each subject under KJSEA is assessed independently with learners’ achievements reported using performance levels instead of total marks or points.
This approach, KNEC explained, ensures that a learner’s strength in one subject is not overshadowed by weaker performance in another.
“There is, therefore, no school mean score as depicted in the attached fake analysis,” the council clarified, referring to a circulated document allegedly showing highest and lowest points, mean scores, and ranked learning areas for a Grade 9 class.

KNEC further urged school administrators, teachers, and parents to rely only on official communication and guidelines issued by the council, warning that sharing false results analysis misleads the public and undermines the principles of the CBC system.
The council reiterated that CBC assessment focuses on holistic learner development, competency acquisition, and continuous assessment rather than competition and exam-driven ranking that characterized the previous education system.
As the country transitions fully into CBC, KNEC called on education stakeholders to uphold professionalism and integrity, and to help educate parents and communities on how to correctly interpret KJSEA results.
The warning comes amid heightened public interest following the release of the 2025 KJSEA results, with KNEC reminding Kenyans to verify information and avoid spreading unverified content.
